Sleek Headlights.... new or old type?

I think Ive seen this picture somewhere else before, dont remember where. They look very much like RE headlights and evo-r. These are sold on ebay from some taiwanesse company. They claim no need for frame cutting and fitment is 90% cases good.

Those are the older version of the Evo-R sleek lights, known for their poor lighting and mixed fitment reviews.

I don't remember which thread it was but I read about how the light output was not at its greatest with these and that the cover would not fit over the bucket right, the actual clear plastic.

anyway post a link of the ebay ad. Maybe they are evo-r... Since they happen to be in taiwan as well.

yeah it's BS. If you look closely at the actual lights (projectors) they aren't even the same as MFanto's car.



I would walk away. From what I hear even evor-r's kit has quality issues so I can't imagine what a knock off quality would be.

Even used ones will cost a lot. Just get some Knightsport ones and call it a day.

Get ready to spend anywhere from 800-1500 for a set of quality aftermarket headlights (flush or upgrade).

Or, since it's just an aesthetics thing, you can always do a HID Retrofit and call it a day.
